Easy Way to Stay Slim and Healthy For Life – 2 April 2009

Two major studies have emerged recently that show the vegan
lifestyle to be conducive to lower body weight. A Swedish study of
55,000 women and a British study of 65,000 men and women both found
vegans to have lower BMIs (body mass index) and to suffer less often
from obesity. Vegan food tends to be lower in calories by volume.
And since plant-based fare is likely to contain abundant fiber, it
satiates quicker.

Since going vegan over twenty years ago, my husband Frank and I have
maintained a healthy weight while eating all that we want of whole
grains, vegetables, legumes, and fruit – no “junk food.” Nothing could
be easier! And I should add – going vegan is also good for the
conscience.

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
